Please Vote for LEGO to Produce a Set Featuring Lovelace, Babbage, and the Analytical Engine

You — and/or your children, students, etc. — could build your own copy of the original Analytical Engine! Out of LEGOs!! (Along with other items I’ve mentioned in my earlier posts, LEGOs are another thing I love: I estimate that at least a third of my children’s toys are LEGO sets…)
OK, this LEGO model wouldn’t actually function. ☹ But hey, the Analytical Engine was never originally built and wouldn’t have functioned either, so this feature — being nonfunctioning — would actually bolster this model’s authenticity!!?! ☺

Here’s another view of the proposed model, this time with LEGO minifigures of Lovelace and Babbage:
For reference, here are images of Lovelace and Babbage wearing dark clothes ≈like that:
(Don’t worry about the beard appearing with the proposed minifigure for Babbage; that detail should get corrected.)

If you think the proposed LEGO Analytical Engine needs to be made more accurate, well, if the LEGO company approves it then they might actually improve it, hopefully in consultation with historically accurate sources. For perspective on the LEGO company’s work producing models, I’ll say that I think their Architecture division has been doing a nice job reflecting the spirit of various monuments such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa:

If you will indeed support / vote for the proposed LEGO model of the Analytical Engine with Lovelace and Babbage, then access the proposal’s website, https://ideas.lego.com/projects/102740, and click the blue “Support” button which is along the right side (you may need to scroll down the page a little). When you’re prompted, create your own LEGO ID (completing the form etc. for this may take a couple of minutes). Then, finalize your support (by clicking the proposal’s “Support” button again)!

By the way, here are a few other places where this proposed LEGO set is featured — so if you want you can link to these social media from yours…:
